Bowen Courthouse is located in Herbert Street, Bowen in Queensland, Australia.
The courthouse was completed in 1881 in the classical revival style. It is a two storey building and was constructed in rendered brick with a corrugated iron roof.
It is still in use today and contains most of the original furniture and features.
History
The building was designed in the Colonial Architect's office by GS Connolly.
It underwent a $4 million refurbishment in November 2004. The work included the installation of an additional courtroom, closed-circuit television, a lift and videoconferencing technology. The refurbishments were completed in late 2006.
The courthouse is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register, as well as by the National Trust of Queensland and the Australian Heritage Commission.
